Policies & Procedures - Personal Visitors / Children in the Workplace

THE LANGUAGE USED IN THIS DOCUMENT DOES NOT CREATE AN EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT BETWEEN THE EMPLOYEE AND THE AGENCY. THIS DOCUMENT DOES NOT CREATE ANY CONTRACTUAL RIGHTS OR ENTITLEMENTS. THE AGENCY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REVISE THE CONTENT OF THIS DOCUMENT, IN WHOLE OR IN PART. NO PROMISES OR ASSURANCES, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, WHICH ARE CONTRARY TO OR INCONSISTENT WITH THE TERMS OF THIS PARAGRAPH CREATE ANY CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT.

Extended visitors in the workplace by individuals not having official business at The Citadel distract employees and fellow workers from their official responsibilities. Visiting children, friends or other relatives at the employee's work site may put them at risk. The responsibility for the safety of children and other personal visitors lies with The Citadel.

Visits by friends, children, or other relatives at the employee's work site are to be kept to casual visits of short duration. It is inappropriate, other than in a valid family emergency, to bring a child to the workplace. In labor-intensive areas, where machinery exists, no personal visitors will be allowed to visit.

Each employee should be considerate of his/her co-workers and ensure proper childcare arrangements are made, to include alternate arrangements in case the primary arrangements are cancelled at the last minute.
